Free Write

A problem that all actors face in knowing what happens next. Everyone knows that you shouldn't anticipate but you cannot help it. Seeing ass you have all of your lines memorized and you blocking down, it seems to be rather difficult to have you scene feel and look natural to the audience but to you as well. Sure in life we think ahead and have expectations on what we hope will happen someday but of course we never truly know what exactly the next day will bring us. Similar aspects are in theatre everyday, sure the sound cues is supposed to happen at the end of this line. What if it never comes, you always have to expect the unexpected while still acting natural, always being on your toes has many pros and cons. Firstly you shall be ready for when your partner forgets their line but what if you become so anxious and so full of anticipation that it begins to show. That right there can completely ruin this character that you have spent awhile building up all in just mere seconds. Always be ready to improvise and always be ready to cover mistakes up.
